Handwritten Novel to Editable PDF - 30/10/2025 18:56 EDT
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a handwritten English novel—just under 100 pages—that needs to become a polished, fully editable PDF. Every word must be transcribed with care, preserving the voice and punctuation of the manuscript while correcting obvious spelling slips.
Formatting specifics
• Font: Times New Roman throughout
• Consistent chapter headings, margins, line spacing, and page numbers (I’ll provide my exact style guide once we start)
• Paragraph indents, scene breaks, and italics handled exactly as marked in the draft
Deliverables
1. An editable PDF with embedded fonts that opens cleanly in Adobe Acrobat and common PDF editors
2. The corresponding Word (.docx) file as a working source
Accuracy, a keen eye for detail, and a tidy layout are essential. If you have experience digitising handwritten prose and preparing print-ready or e-book interiors, that’s a plus.
